Everything was clean. Room was super small, barely a little path around bed to walk around but we already knew that reading to other comments. We really didn’t mind for the price, so we went in knowing it was no so spacious and that was ok. Check in was smooth, lobby and bar, were super cute.
They have elevator. They have stuff for you to buy in the lobby, like snacks or toothbrush, etc.. and is self service.
The first day we have a problem with the toilets seat, we saw it leaking (probably something we do wrong) but we notified front desk if they could come and check it, never did.
Thankfully it wasn’t anything mayor.
We read on the comments that people checking you in were super helpful and nice, maybe we didn’t have luck on that part but also I kind of understand them, sometimes people can be super annoying. I witnessed a gentleman checking in at one time, and he was super entitled and kind of rude with the person at the desk, so maybe they are just tired of people like that. We loved the location, we walk 3 min. To tram and bus station also walking distance from tourist streets, restaurants am bars.

My partner and I decided to stay at Leidse Square because we had such a great experience at the Leonardo Hotel Rotterdam Savoy previously and thought this would be a win. It was a lovely hotel, very cutely decorated with dog, cat and bird photos on the walls, stylish furnishing and an adorable blue bear cushion in the room.

I just feel like it simply lacks comfort in a few areas.

1. Toilet paper - is very cheap and not nice to use.

2. Bed - it is two soft mattresses made of faux leather with just a topper, not a proper fitted sheet on top. After 3 nights we both felt achy due to this not being a very supportive bed.

3. Housekeeping - you have to opt in to cleaning via a QR code in the room. I tried to do this on the first day, but it said it could not find my reservation. I just could not be bothered with it and of course suffered the consequences as a result. The hotel industry on a whole since Covid seem to think its acceptable to ask its guests to \"opt-in\" to housekeeping when it should be a standard. To me it comes across as a cost saving measure by the hotel and an inconvenience to guests.

Positives - nice big windows with a view of the canal. There was a small fridge and a nice coffee machine in the room.

The location is wonderful, close to lots of shops, restaurants, museum district (just a 10 minute walk away) and most importantly a tram line that makes it easy to get to Amsterdam Centraal in about 20 minutes.

Wed site said daily cleaning but it was not . You had to scan the QR code to request for a cleaning. You had to go down stairs to the reception for a new garbage disposal bag.

It doesn’t ´provide the service as a hotel should be. It is poor service and doesn’t want to hire staff for cleaning.

This is our first time and also the last time that we stayed at this hotel.

Had a VERY small basement room - was quiet - but TINY with a LOT of steps. Would not recommend this hotel for anyone with mobility issues- the front steps are almost a ladder 😬! Many hotels are closer to “downtown” - about a 20 minute walk away from Anne Frank house. Found old candy spilled under edge of the bed - so minimal vacuuming had been done in a while. First time in Amsterdam- so hard to compare what one “should” get for $225 per night - but we were a bit disappointed.

Very clean, nice decor, good location, bed comfortable (firm but not too firm). The room was compact but had everything we needed at a reasonable price for an expensive city. The only thing I didn’t like was that there was a frosted glass wall on one side of the bathroom facing the bed, giving little privacy into the bathroom when you needed to have a light on in there. Otherwise, a great stay and would highly recommend

Nice hotel just outside what used to be the outer canal of the city, 400 yrs ago. Easily walkable to the Rijksmuseum. And everywhere, really. Tram 17 is a block away (behind the property) and there are others that stop at Leidse Sq., just across the canal, including the express from the airport. Breakfast is good, although I only went twice out of the 5 days. The coffeemaker in the room is good, and there's a little fridge so you can keep milk and snacks. There are 5-6 steep steps from the street, so it's not really handicapped accessible. My room was comfortable and quiet. The only odd thing is there's a window in the wall right next to the toilet; it's frosted, but still, if you're there with a companion, you're a little bit on display, it feels like. Weird design choice.

The bed was very comfortable and the rooms were neat and tidy. Slightly smaller than we understood but enough for us. We were a couple with one medium sized suitcase each. Would recommend sizing up a room if possible if you have bigger luggage or are a larger person. Overall a great stay, would absolutely recommend.

The only thing I was disappointed about was that I'd booked a slightly bigger room hoping to avoid getting an attic/top floor room with low ceilings and a small window... but that's what we ended up with. Otherwise, it was quiet enough, the bed was comfortable, breakfast was good (lots of food options, though it's the same every day), and the location is excellent. We could walk just about everywhere, there are lots of good restaurants close by, and the neighbourhood is a bit quieter than areas closer to Central Station.

Disappointing Experience with ED Amsterdam

I had high hopes for my stay at the ED Amsterdam, but unfortunately, I was unable to take my trip due to the sudden passing of my father. I had booked a non-refundable room, and while I fully understood the policy, I hoped for some flexibility given the circumstances. I requested to swap my dates to a future time and was open to paying the difference in price, as I understand rates can vary depending on the season.

However, I was deeply disappointed by the hotel’s approach. The additional charge they quoted for the new dates was nearly the same as my initial payment, effectively doubling the cost. To make matters worse, I found that I could book the same dates directly through other websites for less than my original price. It felt as though the hotel was taking advantage of the situation rather than offering reasonable support or understanding.

This experience left a sour taste, and I would be hesitant to book with them again in the future. Compassion and fairness go a long way in building customer trust, and unfortunately, I didn’t feel either in this case.

The hotel is beautiful, the location is conveniently located within walking distance of all major attractions. However, the bathroom door is clear glass and leaves little to the imagination when someone is using the toilet. Room service is done only every 3 days: they didn’t replace the empty tissue box, towels, or change the sheets after the three days when they came. Rooms have hooks, but minimal surfaces for storage.

Room: I had a double room and it was a fine size for one person. I would have felt cramped with a second person in there, but it would have been doable. Other than the shower not having a shelf for soap, razor, etc., I would say the room was almost perfect. If you are not accustomed to the size of European hotel rooms compared to American ones, then you might be a little disappointed with the size. But if you know what to expect, then this hotel does not disappoint. The room was clean, there was no closet but there was a rack with hanger on it and a suitcase holder.

Location: This hotel was in a great location for what I wanted, which was easy access to the major museums and a place to go for a quick run in the mornings. It was about .3 miles from Vondelpark and a ten-minute walk from the Museum Quarter. I walked everywhere - I did not take transportation one time during my stay except to get to and from the airport.

I did not get the breakfast because there are many nice little cafes and restaurants within walking distance.

Overall, great stay. I would stay here again if I return to Amsterdam.

The room itself was a bit small, but that seems typical of European hotels, so I wasn't surprised. It was cozy and provided everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

One major perk was the neighborhood was quiet—I was able to relax and get a good night’s sleep without any disturbances. The amenities were average, but they covered the basics, which was fine for my needs. I would definitely consider staying here again, especially if you're looking for a peaceful, welcoming spot.
